Ingredients
- 1 C Onion Diced to ½” Squares
- 2 Oz Salt Pork Cut Into ½” Cubes (You Will Probably Use Bacon)
- 1½ C Beef Broth Or Stock (Or Water & Beef Base)
- 1 Lb Quartered Button Mushrooms Room Temperature
- ½ C Red Wine – You Can Increase This A Little If You Want A Stronger Wine Flavor
- 1 t Porcini Dust (If You Have It And Not Necessary)
- 2 T Tomato Paste
- 2 t Garlic Paste***
- 1 t Dried Thyme
- 2 T Butter
- ¼ t Pepper
- Salt Only If Necessary
- Fresh Thyme Leaves Or Chives To Garnish (Optional)
Directions
- Cut rind off salt pork and cube.
- In a sauté pan slowly fry cubes (or bacon pieces) until crispy, and remove to drain.
- Sauté quartered mushrooms in leftover pork (bacon) fat on medium high to high heat. The idea is not to let the mushrooms “stew” in their own juices but to brown them quickly. Preheat pan and when you begin to sauté them do not stir or move them for a couple of minutes, then stir and brown. Remove mushrooms, reduce heat and add tomato paste for a minute or so.
- Add diced onions and beef broth to pan and bring to a very gentle simmer for 15-20 minutes. This reduces liquid and intensifies flavors.
- If you have porcini dust, sprinkle it over mushrooms, add back to stock & onions, and add wine, garlic & pepper. You may need to increase the heat just a bit to bring it to a simmer, but DO NOT boil. Simmer all for additional 15-18 minutes. Mushrooms will soak in flavors.
- Add any more water as/if needed.
- With pan off heat, swirl 1 T butter into mixture and before it has melted swirl in second T butter. This will thicken your sauce.
- Plate and sprinkle with salt pork lardoons (or bacon bits).

Notes
- Thinly sliced and chopped pancetta will work in place of salt pork or bacon.
- I personally like salt pork or pancetta because otherwise your mushrooms may taste too bacony. Is that a word?
- Another thing you can do is drain and use your bacon fat for something else and just use lard, chicken fat, or yes, duck fat.
